"I got really emotional because he has such a great heart," Poe said. "(Terrence) was raised well. He gave it to someone who doesn't really get the chance to do much. So, it was amazing."

Tate's mother Nancy Foret said her son is very excited to be king.

"A lot of kids talk to him," Foret said. "But, what Terrence did was truly amazing. I can't thank him enough."

There's clearly a special bond between Terrence and Tate. Terrence was born four months premature, weighing only two and a half pounds. He was developmentally delayed for his first couple of years. Terrence admits it could have been him in a wheel chair.

Instead, he is heading off to college next year to play football for the Southern University Jaguars.
